Negotiating with demons

When there's a situation
They always wanna talk
To give some convoluted
Reason why it was your fault
And then they take your silence
As a sign they're absolved
While you just sit there shaking
Way too freaked out to respond

This is why i wanted out
This is a thing i have been carrying around
This is a mess no one else wanted to clean up
This is why i love you so much

You wonder if your weakness
Somehow brought all this on
If hurting other people
Is how you prove that you are strong
I read that fighting monsters
Can turn you into one
Your tactics start to look like
Things your enemies have done

This is why i wanted out
This is a thing i have been carrying around
This is a mess no one else wanted to clean up
This is why i love you so much
